...honesty of his one-way mind, King George last week was nobly troubled, and so were the best of His Majesty's subjects. No English gentleman who has been taught with the rough end of a strap to write Latin verse at Eton ever thinks of Eternal Rome with other than profound cultural respect, and Pope Pius XI was probably right in thinking last week that the last place on which British bombs will ever fall is the City of the Caesars. All the same, Kaiser Wilhelm II became a "beastly Hun" for some years to his cousin George...
...balked by the League of Nations, the Italian attitude toward France is sure to change from friendship to fury, thereby weakening France which would have to send back to her Italian frontier the troops she withdrew and sent to guard her German frontier after the Laval-Mussolini accord in Rome (TIME, Jan. 14).

San Francisco-born Jesuit Maher has been president of Santa Clara University...
Dispatches from Italian GHQ go by Government wireless to Rome, are subject to rigid censorship at both ends. Thus, while the reporters on the Italian side had plenty of news, censorship kept much of it bottled up. Reporters on the Ethiopian side faced an opposite situation. They had no censorship problem, but they also had practically no news. At Addis Ababa most of the reporters are crowded into the barnlike Imperial Hotel. Nights are so cold, sleeping bags are indispensable. Best description of life in Addis Ababa was sent last week by the New York Herald Tribune's Linton...
